First off, thanks for the help. Car: 1991 240sx, manual, body-219,000 kade-@175,000

Problem: Ran out of gas a few weeks back, but started doing it the day before I ran out of gas. I was driving my car, it was fine. Then when I ran it through a few gears, hard, it seemed to be running on only 2 cylinders. Hard to rev, down on power, misses throughout the entire rev range, no matter throttle position. Have been driving it almost daily, 70+ miles a day, city and highway driving. It runs perfectly until I run it hard through a couple of gears, then it seems to be on 2 cylinders. Only quits whenever it cools down, like overnight. Oh yeah, one more symptom, it doesn't want to cut off. Turn the switch off and it tries to keep running for a couple of seconds. Any ideas?

I would check the throttle position sensor and run through the FSM for some help.
